After the match Ana commented “My goal will be to get further than the quarterfinals. But, you know, still I want to just take it one match at a time. The conditions here are very different than at my past few tournaments, so it takes some adjustment. I’m really enjoying my time here so I hope I can stay around for a little bit.”
Next vs. Oprandi
Ana will play world no.149 Romina Oprandi in the second round. Head to head is 1-0 for Romina, but the Serbian is the hot favorite to get through.
